Pearl Street-Between 12th and 13th Streets-Looking East. A Man Walking East on Pearl Street
Under a new strategic plan adopted by the city planning commission Tuesday, the Callowhill/Chinatown North of the future would include 21 new acres of parks and green space, development that mixes commercial and industrial space with residences, and an extended Noble Street that cuts through the “superblocks” created in the 1960s to attract industry that now feature low-rise buildings and surface parking lots.

CFF: THE SCOTT AND GARY SHOW RetrospectiveTHE CINEDELPHIA FILM FESTIVAL presents
Saturday, April 6, 2013, 7:30 PM
Video Pirates presents
THE SCOTT AND GARY SHOW RetrospectiveFrom 1983 to 1989, The Scott and Gary Show served as a lo-tech American Bandstand for the punks, outsiders, and new wave kids of the 1980s. Over the course of 19 episodes, public access audiences were treated to confounding comedy, awkward interviews, and early live performances from a host of now legendary musicians including The Beastie Boys (pre-hip hop), Half Japanese, Butthole Surfers, Velvet Monkeys, Shockabilly (the singer played a modified lawn rake) and Philly local Ben Vaughn.
To celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, Video Pirates will screen a “best of” the show with live commentary from Scott and Gary. And then, this is the crazy part, the guys will be donning their old costumes, handing out 3D glasses, and re-creating an episode live in the Mausoleum complete with a reunion performance from Baltimore’s The Beatoes. Dancing and costumes are encouraged.
Advance tix are $10, no refunds or exchanges.
The Cinedelphia Film Festival is a Philly-centric celebration of Philly film running from April 4-27, 2013.
